BECAUSE I AM A WOMAN
The beautiful world around and here I am in the cage,
The beautiful thoughts around and here I am dumb,
The beautiful happenings around and here I am blind,
Why? Because I am a woman.
I am taught to be quiet,
I am taught to be blind,
I am taught to be dumb,
Why? Because I am a woman
I am the one who is raped,
I am the one who is the victim of acid attack,
I am the one who is the victim of domestic violence,
I am the who is subjected to all inhuman practices,
I am the one who is taught to be quiet.
Why? Because I am a woman.
The world is calling me,
The world is calling me to speak,
The world is calling me to hear,
The world is calling me to see
But still, I can’t move on,
I can’t walk, talk, see or hear,
Why? Because I am a woman,
Because I am a materialistic thing,
Because I am a victim of patriarchy.
